Avalon NJ Beach Update

I talked with a Borough of Avalon official regarding on going and proposed beach projects.

1) Beach paths in the southend of Avalon are being elevated to similar levels as the surrounding dunes.  There were concerns during Sandy that the paths could become a route for the ocean to flow into the street (thankfully, it didn’t happen).

2) Avalon officals are working on securing a dredge for a beach fill project for the north end of the island- hopefully coordinating with Ocean City to move the equipment after their project is completed.  The timing is up in the air, yet an early summer time frame is likely.  If scheduled, the Borough will maintain safe beach access on as many streets as possible during the beach fill.
